FFXI has been around for a decade, long before Steam Discussions existed. The player community congregates mostly around long established locations, the only major exception being the relatively new Official FFXI Forums - and those only because, well, they're official. The dev and community relations teams are active there.

Allakazham, blugartr, FFXIAH, KillingIfrit - these (among others) are the places where you will find the FFXI community alive and kicking.

Hopefully, Tetsuol, this explains to you why the FFXI community - and FFXI itself - is far from dead or even dormant, yet you still did not receive a response in this particular location for slightly more than a month. This is not a major location of gathering and community for FFXI.

Though, when Seekers of Adoulin comes out, there is a (small) possibility that might change - but it takes players acting to make this an active part of the greater FFXI community.

I take it "Grampa" is your character, Tetsuol, and that's not someone else's video?

Well, I first want to offer you my heartfelt congratulations on beating Maat! It's a mark of passage that every veteran FFXI player has completed, and I'm glad to welcome you to the ranks of Maat Mashers.

However, I'm afraid I have to burst your bubble a little bit -- the BCNM clear time records are reset every time there's a server maintenance, unfortunately. It's really annoying. I know that can be disappointing to find out, because I had the same thing happen to me with Warrior G5.

Nice game overall. Not the best MMO out there, but it does have a solid fan base. So much that even Square can't get away with the "FFXI +1" attempt that was FF XIV.

I'm starting to miss it somewhat again, but that's probably because of school and life getting back to a slow pace after the dust settles for a bit.Not enough to re-activate still, though. I doubt if I ever will... although, if by chance I got notice that my old LS is getting back into the game, I'd be there for sure!Fat chance of that as well: my old server (Pandy) is no more.

So whenever I get that itch to re-activate, all I do is go to Allakazam (sp) and read a few posts from people that decided to quit playing and I remember my resolve once more. Keeps me going. That and some great single-player games, lol

Tbh I just have it because it came with one of those Steam sales done during X-mas where there's a bunch of games thrown into a bundle.
